I imagine it will be two parts similar to season 4.
The difference might be how many episodes in each part.
Season 4 had episodes 1-6 in part one and a month later episodes 7-8 in part two.
So I wouldn't be surprised if it's 4 episodes each part.

Showed my daughter the series at around that age. She loves it.
If they kill my baby boy Steve I will go into full Victorian-ass mourning I s2g. Also I'm constantly torn between being an #EddieLives truther or not.
Close to my rating but 1 imo is just a bit better than 4, mainly because I felt like 11's story in 4 just kinda felt like spinning its wheels half the time. Feels like the show sometimes doesnt really know what to do with her character over long periods because they dont know how to evolve her as a character without either taking her too far from being awkward outcast girl or making her like a too powerful dues ex machina that doesnt really fit with everyone else.
Hopefully with the story ending they feel more comfortable to just do whatever they want to do with 11 without having to shove her off on some side adventure away from the rest of everyone else.
Hopefully this has a satisfying end. I'm still of the opinion that the series should've ended with S2.
The 3 year gap between season 3 and 4 killed it for me. By the time the show came back out, I had all but forgotten about it. Loved season 1! But felt like lightning in a bottle.
Eh... S3 sucked.
S2 resolved every character arc up until that point.
Unless you have ultimate willpower to wait it out til its all over, you'll need to take at least 3 days of PTO, because there is no way this isn't coming in a minimum of 3 blocks several months apart each.
Fucking Cobrai Kai is getting it's final season broken down in 3 chunks. Bridgerton just did a 2 chuck season, and of course Stranger Things 4 was the guinea pig for this model.
S5 is what, 8 episodes? Honestly I'm expecting them to drip feed them over 4 release windows between summer 2025 and 2026.
Season 4 was the best season since the first.
Although the first was much better for being smaller scale and an authentic Amblin pastiche.
Gonna be Game of Thrones levels hype for me
Whichever it actually ends up like GoT final season, I hope not.. But it sure is an end of an era
Still really sad a character so important to my coming out is attached to Noah… Can't even put it to words how much that meant to me at the time

Season 3 fan devotees, rise! Peak ST, that.
I did dig the splintered story lines in Season 4, but it'll be great to have the entire gang supposedly together in Hawkins for the series finale.

Didn't realize it was two. It was mostly Noah making the headlines.
Because of just how obscene it was I will likely skip Season 5. :( Know plenty of folks boycotting it as well. Such a shame because it is one of my favorite shows.
As an aside, some of the actors have actively donated to pro Palestine causes I believe, if that makes anyone feel better.
Hope they do a time skip. So much time has passed and they look a lot older.
Hope it's not delayed into 2026.
I just finished rewatching the show!

If I remember correctly, the production of season 5 was delayed massively because of the strikes.
Edit:
Yep--

Mind, a number of factors were out of their control as mentioned, such as COVID and the strikes. Plus, the scope and production size of the show demands a far longer lead time for each season.
Not like time has been a detriment to the show's popularity and high viewership numbers, but we'll see how Season 5 shakes out at the end of its run.
I was really invested in Stranger Things. I like the show and enjoyed the last season, despite believing a couple of the plot points being unnecessary.
But...after hearing about the conduct of a couple of the cast members, fuuuuck that.
I cannot in good conscience support something they're in, despite all the hours I've put it in so far and this being the conclusion.

No excitement for this at all. Simply taken too long and I'm bored.
Will probably still end up watching it, but feel no excitement to do so.

You do what you want, I don't criticize that at all. But you're giving two assholes a lot of power over you.
If we were talking about the showrunners or some producers with heavy financial stakes in the show I would agree with what you're saying. Or maybe if we were talking about the main two actors of the show.
But two actors in a huge collective of other amazing actors like in Stranger Things? Nah. I personally loved seasons 1 to 4 of that show, I'll watch the fifth season. And if it's good I might even love it! And post about it, and post gifs! Doesn't matter if two of the actors said despicable things at one point, they don't hold any power over me.
And there are also A LOT of other really great actors on that show, and an army of other people working on it. Why punish them?
Nah, I can't wait for season 5. It's gonna be great! Two insignificant assholes don't have the power to take away something I love.
I'll watch this but I'm not really feeling excited about it. First couple seasons were great but I really felt my interest waning last season.
Already found Gelman insufferable before he outed himself as a monster. Hoping he gets little screentime in this for sure
Movie length episodes again seems excessive hopefully it turns out aiight tho
I legit love every season of this show and am so hyped for S5 yet melancholy it's ending...
Always thought there was an anthology type spinoff waiting to happen with ST and still believe it.
From top to bottom might legit be my favorite show ever.

I think they already said spinoffs were happening after season 5 is over.
I thought season 4 was pretty great so I will def be tuning in. The delay between seasons never really bothered me, plenty of other stuff to occupy my time. I'm curious to see the numbers Netflix pulls with this as well, feels like they should be doing a crap ton of advertising once filming is wrapped considering it's the finale to one of their biggest shows (biggest? I dont actually know lmao)
I don't know how I missed that but I'm 100% stoked now lol….
The show and the cast members refusing to condemn and distance themselves from what the two assholes said says a lot about where their priorities lie. Should have dropped both of them.
I still get chills hearing the song and thinking about the moments in the show.
I hope they don't use it again, it'll dilute it.
